Computer Will Not Boot At all!

I reseeded the memory,
updated the BIOs...
Turn on internal video

Quiet simply the only output I get is a BIOs <beep> error
1 long, 3 short beeps

If I put my old video card in it powers right up just fine

    Hey Yasp, you are definitely getting a video card error from the beep codes. i have a few questions for you. have you ever used that card before (in another system) ? if not, try that first to make sure that the card works. next, what video card were you using before? at first i thought it was the onboard card but your last statement "If I put my old video card in it powers right up just fine" makes me think that you had another card in there? am i right in assuming this? next, have you tried turning off onboard video? another suggestion is to make sure you video card is seated all the way. i know on an old case i had, the bottom of the metal plate was getting caught on a part of the case that i couldn't see. it looked like the card was in all the way but it wasn't. sometimes it takes a little wiggling around to make sure it's seated all the way in. hopefully that helps out. if not post back and we can probably help more
